It's a little like sexual harassment situations.  You have to consider who has the power and who doesn't.  McQueary, as a GA, witnessing Sandusky raping a kid, would be like walking in on your boss doing the same thing.  Was McQueary wrong in not beating the #$@% out of Sandusky?  Of course.  But at the same time, there were going to be consequences for McQueary either way.  Like never working at PSU.  He was spineless and acted selfishly.

Paterno, on the other hand, had all of the power.  He could have called the cops.  Told the AD that he already called the cops.  Or at least, made things happen instantly right up to the BOT to see that law enforcement was brought in.  He didn't.  And we still don't know why he didn't.  Friendship?  Loyalty?  A selfish and misguided desire to protect the image of PSU?  Sandusky have blackmail material on JoPa?  We don't know.

Both were in the wrong.  But in different ways.  Paterno had more power though.

But in my opinion, both have been denounced pretty equally.  I think you're wrong when you say McQueary hasn't been attacked.  You must not read these boards.
